Microsoft Kinect gets UK price, 4GB Xbox announced
Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect – start saving now
Microsoft Kinect, the motion-sensing peripheral for the Xbox 360 has been given a UK price. And the news comes in conjunction with an announcement of a new 4GB Xbox 360 – all of which shapes up to a very tasty console.
If you want a standalone Kinect sensor with the Kinect Adventures gaming title to accompany your existing console, you’ll have to shell out £129.99.
But if you’re in the market for a new console, the 4GB Xbox 360 that comes toting Wi-Fi, plus Kinect and the game will set you back £249.99. And if you’re just after the new console, that’s going to cost you £149.99.
Microsoft claims that there will be “more than 15 games are set to be available at launch” for Kinect, including Kinectimals, Kinect Sports and Kinect Joy Ride. Each of those Kinect games will sell for £39.99.
There’s still no exact date for Kinect’s release in the UK, but the new 4GB 360 console will land in the UK on 20 August as a standalone device.

i have a great idea for kinect and how it could change the way we view media and we could use the tech we have today. the idea is to connect a kinect unit to a projector and then use three or four of them to fill a room. meaning there would be a kinect unit and projector in each corner of the room. each one working semi-independently, they would be in contact with each of the other units and be able to continually scan the room to produce the best results for the projected imagery. this would mean that the projectors could render the entire room putting the user in a full 360 environment to enjoy the media. also using the kinects ability to recognize people and their outline this could be translated to the projectors allowing anyone in the room not to be projected upon, removing them from each of the projected image. imagine being in your own room at home turning on your xbox and your entire room changes around you, but when you look at someone else in the room or down at yourself, you remain the same. you would be able to interact with visual media in an entirely new way. it would change gaming the film industry and remove the television from the living room. that is the idea and using the technology we have it is possible.
